Question

if A=2n + 13 and B=n+7,where necessary is natural number then find HCF of A and B.

Answer 1

Solution :-

A = 2n + 13
B = n + 7

1) If the value of n = 1, then

A = (2*1) + 13
= 2 + 13
= 15

B = 1 + 7
= 8

Now, A = 15 and B = 8
HCF of 15 and 8 is 1.

2) If the value of n =2 

A = (2*2) + 13
= 4 + 13 
= 17


B = 2 + 7 
= 9

A = 17 and B = 9
HCF of 17 and 9 is 1.

3) If the value of n 3

A = (2*3) + 13
= 6 + 13
= 19

B = 3 + 7
= 10

A = 19 and B = 10
HCF of 19 and 10 is 1

4) If the value of n = 4
A = (2*4) + 13
= 8 +13 
= 21

B = 4 + 7
= 11

A = 21 and B = 11

HCF of 21 and 11 is 1

We have seen that whatever the value n has, the HCF of A and B (separate values they hold in each situation) is always 1. It means we can take any value of n and the HCF will be 1.
hope it helps u☺☺✌
